WARNING: OWNERS YOU MUST READ THIS Love Hate Relationship! I love this powerful windows mobile device. Using real apps like Slingplayer, Fring, Tom Tom Nav 6 and Core Video player. I hate the fact that it took 2 hardrives in my Macbook Pro before i realize that I was sitting the device too close to the Mac hard drive. Why should this matter? Because of that HUGE keyboard Magnet. It totally ruined the hard drive and I had no clue what was going on until I recently thought thru my exact steps. - I sat the 7510 on the mac during a bluetooth transfer. WATCH OUT- Don't put your 7510 in your casually in your bag next to your laptop either!!!! - HTC - you need a WARNING Sticker to let everyone know about this big problem.

The keyboard is also missing some of the buttons that were on the 7500. I do like the haptic feedback on the 7510's keyboard, however. I'm sure that there are plusses and minuses I have yet to discover, too. @AKtopshooter – I do miss the joystick; it makes no sense to me why it is missing.

After lunch we went downstairs for an indoor golf session, and when we got back to the meeting room, my MBP was frozen. The hard drive was making a racket and I had to leave session early to hit the Apple Store's Genius Bar. I need to write a post about what ensued...I don't think anyone will believe it all. But needless to say, a less than three month old loaded out MacBook Pro suffering a massive hard drive crash in the middle of a conference sponsored by Microsoft was more than just a little bit ironic. ;-) Oh Drew…I had a hell of a day.

Can you add a sim card without powering down or restarting and it is recognized?

I mean it is a phone and is capable, but it's not normal to me. You almost HAVE to use this with a BT headset. It would be more useful as a data only device. I think that's what I would do with it.

I'll admit that the first few times you do it you might sweat a little, but it's quite secure. globecode, there is a very strong magnet holding the keyboard to the Advantage, and you can definitely hold it and key.

I don't know that these will ever be easily or readily available in the US. They have the Qualcomm chip that held up so many other devices last year; I didn't even find that out until last week, so I was planning on importing if necessary. These are so new that they say "Test Only, Not for Sale" when they boot. :-/ Well, here’s the problem. I don’t know that these will ever be easily or readily available in the US.
